A suspect has been captured in Florida after a man was fatally shot and his wife wounded Thursday night outside a Martinez church.

Columbia County Sheriff's Capt. Steve Morris said Daniel Nelson Robinson, 21, of Jacksonville was taken into custody in his hometown Friday morning.

Thursday night, Morris said, a man was fatally shot and his wife wounded outside Marvin United Methodist Church at Wheeler and Belair roads.

About 10:40 p.m. deputies responded to the church and found 55-year-old William R. Davitte of Martinez dead on scene, according to Columbia County Coroner Vernon Collins.

Deputies from Richmond and Columbia counties were initially searching for two suspects but later said it was just one. He was believed to be in the victim’s vehicle, a 2010 gold Nissan Murano.

The husband and wife were at the church to activate the sprinkler system when it happened, Morris said. The wife has since been released from a hospital, he said.

Morris said incidents of this magnitude are “extremely uncommon” in this area of the county.

“Very rare,” Morris said. “I’m not sure of the circumstances or what led up to this. It’s still very early in the investigation and we hope to find out what happened very soon.”

Morris is unsure if the victims are members of Marvin United Methodist Church.

“All I know is they were here to activate the sprinkler system,” Morris said.

Duval County jail records show Robinson has already had eight arrests as an adult. Friday he was charged in Jacksonville with reckless driving-fleeing police, fleeing police at high speeds with a disregard for safety, resisting police, trespassing and theft of a motor vehicle.
